  1. Hi all, First off, I've been lurking here for years and have learned an incredible amount from the builders who post at Britmodeller. I've been building plastic kits off and on (mostly off) for years, then recently discovered 1/43 resin and white metal kits. I appreciate that they're easy to store, don't take up much space while under construction, and offer cars overlooked by the 1/24 kit companies. The challenge also gives me something other than work and pandemics to think about. This Tameo Brabham isn't my first 1/43, but it is the first I've posted while under construction in public and my first 1/43 kit this complex. My learning process has included considerable time spent trying to figure out how to hold parts the size of a gnat. Anyway, I'm a slow builder, so this may be a work in progress for several months. To ensure that parts fit cleanly, I'd found all the mold lines, and I'd drilled all the right holes, I built about 90 percent of the kit without paint. Getting to this stage took from late December to mid February. The engine and transmission. Many small suspension components are yet to be installed at this point. Looking dangerously unroadworthy with bizarre toe in, toe out, and camber. When I looked at this photo I began to worry about how to airbrush paint deep into the rear wheels. But I'm amazed at how well engineered this kit is--despite the small size and complexity, things are going together nearly as well as a Tamiya 1/24 kit. Then I bathed the car in acetone to destroy the CA bonds, spent many hours cleaning off the remaining bits of glue, and created this forest of bits on sticks ready for primer. This is where things stand now. With luck, I can apply Tamiya primer this weekend.
  2. Had this sat on the shelf of doom for a couple of months so finally got round to completing it last night. Tameo 1/43rd white metal kit. Wings and suspension are photo etch, wheels are turned and tyre are rubber. Painted using Vallejo model air and Zero pre mixed gloss Thanks for looking. Warren
